Culvert Pipe Replacement

A well-installed culvert pipe is one of the most important components of proper drainage on a rural property. When functioning correctly, it keeps driveways, roads, and landscaping safe from erosion and water damage. When it fails, it can cause flooding, washouts, and costly structural issues. At Grasshopper Enterprises, we specialize in culvert pipe replacement and installation for residential and agricultural properties across Fauquier County and Northern Virginia.

With more than 25 years of excavation and drainage experience, we understand how critical it is for water to flow freely beneath driveways and access roads. Over time, culvert pipes can become clogged, crushed, rusted, or undersized for today’s storm conditions. A failing culvert can lead to erosion, standing water, and even complete driveway collapse. Our team has the equipment and expertise to identify these problems early and replace aging or damaged culverts with systems that meet modern performance standards.

Every culvert replacement project begins with a thorough inspection of your existing drainage setup. We evaluate slope, water volume, soil stability, and outlet locations to determine the correct pipe size and placement. This ensures the new culvert is not only installed correctly but also designed to handle the amount of water your property receives throughout the year.

We install only durable, high-quality culvert materials such as corrugated metal, HDPE plastic, or reinforced concrete, depending on your site’s needs. Each culvert is properly bedded and compacted to ensure longevity and performance through heavy rains, vehicle loads, and freeze-thaw cycles. We also shape the surrounding grade to encourage efficient water flow into and out of the pipe while minimizing erosion.
